Hostelmate?

1. What is the next management software for a guesthouse in the same category as hostelmate which is for free ?

2. What can a guesthouse owner expect if the management software which is web-based and free becomes a for-pay service ?

3. Would it not be best to use a stand alone software that is not web-based instead ?

4. I need a management, internal booking system for a small guesthouse with 35 private rooms and 46 dorms beds. That's about 81 entries in the line-up ?

Need software with these features:

-Guesthouse, small hotel specific software. A shoe-in.
-Self Custom Setup
-No hassle to install
-Good Support
-Good and Secure User Name and Password Access
-Management by remote possible due to web -based (?)
-Scalable, No Room/Bed/Transaction Limits
-Guest Database Functionality
-Availabilty Search
-Move Guests With Ease
-Simple Check In, Check outs
-Payment Processing
-Maybe a monthly financials feature would be great :-)
-Colour Coded Status for Room or Bed
-Price Setup
-Maybe a Search Function
-Housekeeping Database
-Can Manage Sundries, and Snacks/Beverage counter, Internet cafe charges, airport transport charges in checkout bill.
-Manage Deposits
-Multi Currency
-Manager Level Access With Password Protection , Important ! My crew should not be allowed to tweak price settings etc.
-Can be fitted with online booking plugin.

Thanks in advance !
